Easter is one of my absolute favorite holidays! That could be because I host it at my house and I love spending weeks leading up to the big day planning out the menu, the recipes, the shopping, and did I mention all the planning? I love all the fun little details. I print out all of my recipes and write on them what time I have to start prep (taking them out of the fridge, make the dough, etc.) what time to start making each recipe and then plan to have slow cookers to transfer most of the recipes. I make my potatoes the day before and warm them in a slow cooker (3 hours before we eat). I make the sweet potato casserole base and warm it in the oven and add the topping the day of. The gravy can be made the day before. And I prep all of my sides the day before. That way preparing the food on Easter is so much less stressful, and you can focus on enjoying the day with my family.

After spending all that time preparing my best and favorite recipes to share with family and our closest friends we can really enjoy time together. It’s not just about the food (but that doesn’t hurt) it’s all about being together and that truly warms my heart.
